My mother and I stayed at Roula's for a week and we are so happy and proud to have been the first foreign guests! Roula has made anything possible to make us feel at ease, she introduced us to her family, she invited us into her home: our experience has been even better thanks to Roula's kindness. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures, and with a huge terrace too! Diafani is a small village, quiet and relaxing for a vacation.

Nikos is a perfect host. So warm and happy, he helped us to get into the mentality of the people leaving there and he informed us about all the intresting places and traditions of the island. We loved the house, the view and the piece of the nature around the house.

A studio with beautiful view in diafani of Karpathos and Near to the beach.

Our journey in Diafani has been unforgettable! The apartment was very comfortable, bright, airy and with a beautiful view on Diafani's port. We were greeted by Nikos, John's father: a very kind and very special person and an host careful and helpful. We hope come back soon to Diafani to meet him again and to enjoy this wonderful village with its fantastic sea and mountain's paths!

Possibly the best apartment for diafani, very nice and helpful parents. The house is situated to the east, therefore no nasty wind in the evening and you can spend a nice evening on terrasse. That means breakfast must be indoor. All rooms are equipped with aircondition. Resuming: just perfect. All the best for john and his parents. Wolfgang from austria

Best place to stay in Karpathos. The view is amazing and the place is modern and clean (with air conditioning) Anna and Nikos, the owners, took care of us as if we were their family. They speak fluently French. if you are looking for 'real Greece' ... Go to Diafani, beautiful beaches, authentic villages, less tourists, and really really nice people. We had a great time and hope to come back !!

We had a wonderful stay at John's studio in Diafani. The studio was very clean, large and with splendid view on the Diafani's port. That is definitely the best place to stay in this charmy village. We will always remember the very worm welcome and reception from our guests. We hope to meet them again in the next future and come back to this unique village in Greece. Merci nos amis!

Nous avons passé un formidable séjour à Karpathos. Nous avons été accueilli par les parents de John qui sont des personnes adorables et d'une gentillesse extraordinaire. L'appartement était parfait. Grand et confortable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire à un sejour au top avec en plus une magnifique vue sur le village et le port de Diafani. Je vous recommande vivement les appartements de John et sa famille qui, et ce n'est pas négligeable, parlent français. Merci à eux pour l'accueil chaleureux et j'espère à très bientôt.

The perfect place for easy vacation in the most wonderful village in Karpathos. Astonishing view towards the Mediterranean and the famous Windmills. Just 100 m from the center of Olympos, but still with a feeling of privacy and relaxation. Ideal for families with kids, having all amenities for them. Elevated traditional flat house of 50m2 with wooden loft and a spacey terrace. Easy reachable from the old alleys that cross all our village and just 20 meters from the secondary parking lot.

Are you an Eco tourist? Are you a History lover? Are you an easy family with kids? Do you like desolated beaches so close to my house but far from civilization? This is the place to stay! Everyday and a totally different story!
The history of this house comes back to 19th century were my grandmas' parents have built this house by themselves, getting stone by stone from the opposite mountain of Othos thru the river crossings and up to the 350 meters altitude of this ancient village.
My house is fully renovated getting all new furniture including the traditional "wooden Soufa bed" our ancestors were using for centuries. The kitchen and the bathroom were built again in order to include all the amenities for an easy vacation in the most Historic Village in Greece.

Are you the kind of person who likes to feel like a local when you travel and tend to travel on a budget, my place is for you. If you want to walk around a living museum of history and folklore, go to best traditional festival in modern Greece, or just access the most isolated crystal clear beaches of Nati, Ag. Minas and Patatia in the Northern island of Saria with volcanic black plate stones, this is the best place to stay. Just 20 meters from the parking lot, at the most idyllic edge of the village under the windmills, 10 meters from the famous "Milos" tavern, were you can taste traditional Dodecanese food.
It's also really close to the village's center (plati and Church ) where you can find a great café "Blue Garden" of my friend Nikos.
It’s also a hiker’s Paradise, with the main trails of the Northern Karpathos to start close to my premise; you can select to reach the ancient settlement of Vrikus in 1,5 hours or get to the beach Fyses in 20 mins. A detailed trail map will be emailed to you to plan your excursion.

Bright and airy studio at Anemos Hotel with a stunning view over the sea, a few minutes' walk from the church and cafes in the heart of Olympos - one of the best-preserved traditional villages in Greece. Very comfortable, tastefully decorated room with a wooden soufa bed (plus 2 singles), spacious modern bathroom and two exquisite balconies. Small kitchen off the courtyard downstairs is shared with one other room.

My partner Minas returned to his village to restore this old stone house belonging to his grandfather.

Olympos hasn't changed very much over the last century. The older ladies of the village still wear traditional dress every day. The men play their own music and sometimes make their own instruments. Many things, from cheese to soap to olive oil to leather boots, are hand-made in the village.

We spent three days in this appartment in Olympos this august. It is a very charming town which really is enjoyed best and the late afternoon and evening after the tourists have left. We felt very welcome at Kalliopis and Drokba who we rented from came to us with fresh pies every morning! We would absolutely choose to stay here again next time we visit Karpathos!

Great experience and maybe one of the friendliest hosts ever. The studios are very small but the amazing view and the unbelievable hospitality of Kalliopi easily outweighs the limited space. The usual middle european tourist might not cherish this location or staying amongst the unique Olymbions in general but we loved it. Shower, Toilet and bed were in solid condition. Kalliopi brought us delicious homebaked stuff fresh out of her own bakery every morning. To individual travellers: Go there. To all inclusive pool site tourists: not suitable for you at all.

There are two elements to consider, but to consider together. The studios are basic, with basic amenities and small enough. Comfort is yet to go. In short if you want a palace go your way ... But if you like to travel to that the atmosphere and people can bring you, you will be in the right place. The traditions are at the heart of this place. The village is quiet in the morning and evening and lively elderly residents who live there year round. During the day tourists flock, but rather wild beaches are not too far away for a little tumult. Kalliopi, who holds the bakery downstairs studios will discover its daily fact of artisanal confections breads and pastries, cooking in the oven and smiles! Benevolence pure! For as long as one is fascinated course! We loved to spend five days in Greece this seems to have retained the time.

Independent house on prime beach front property, in the center of Diafani. It has two flours and hosts two people. Great for hiking taking boat trips, or just relaxing on the balcony watching the sunrise.

This amazing property has two levels. On the first floor is the kitchen fully equipped with oven, washing machine and fridge.
On the second floor is the sleeping area with two single beds and the bathroom.
Restaurants, cafes and the beach are only one minutes walk.

This place is exactly what it purports to be: a beautiful, quiet, clean apartment with spectacular views of the ocean. On a side note, I had no problem with the street light outside. It did not bother me at all. Nikkos is a great host and he really knows the lay of the land, which includes about everyone in both the towns of Defani and Olymbos. I had a great time staying at Nikkos' place and I would highly recommend it.
